Dr Henry Locke would have preferred to stay at home. He liked it there. Home was his refuge. His quiet place. His books were there. His piano. His bed. The apartment was high enough that he wasn't too bothered by traffic noise, but if he was at home whilst rush hour was going on he simply put on some classical music to help drown out the frantic sounds of horns and sirens down on the streets below.
But it was New Year's Eve, and his brother Hugh was over visiting from England, and he'd turned up at Henry's door, insisting that they help to bring in the New Year.

Yet, a New Year’s kiss leads to a spontaneous night that changes everything. Because the stranger she felt instantly connected to turns out to be her colleague, closed off Dr Henry. And shockingly, she has to tell him she’s pregnant—with their miracle twins!

This delightful book is my first foray into the world of Mills and Boon. As a child, I remember my aunt would sit and read her way through piles of them. In all honesty, I was uncertain as to whether this would be for me, but I enjoyed it so much that I regret not having tried books by this publisher before.
It was a lovely story with a believable plot, and I enjoyed spending time with the main characters, Henry and Natalie. They were both characters that I warmed to and the author brought them very much alive on the page.
This was a feel good novel which I smiled my way through much of. It is not a spoiler to tell you that I had a lovely goose bumpy feeling by the end. This may have been my first, but it will not be the last book that I read from this publisher.
